GOP Culture of Corruption Unraveling
Our Executive Director, Tom McMahon, sent the following message to Democrats across the country on Friday.
Dear Fellow Democrat,
Republican leader Tom DeLay surrendered to police yesterday and was arraigned this morning on charges of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
To show the Democratic Party's commitment to doing things differently, we set out to raise $340,000 -- double the amount of money that Tom DeLay is accused of laundering through the Republican National Committee.
So far over 8,000 people have contributed $324,423 towards that goal. Join them now and you could be the one to push it over the top:
And, don't forget, until midnight tonight every dollar raised will be matched by committed Democrats who want to encourage grassroots donors to grow the fundraising base of our party.
Tom DeLay is just the tip of the iceberg. You can send a message that you're fed up with him and the entire Republican culture of corruption - let's show that ordinary people contributing whatever they can afford can double the most notorious money-for-influence machine in politics.
Thank you so much.
Tom McMahon
Executive Director
Democratic National Committee
